We provide first evidence that Matrix Models describe the low lying complex Dirac eigenvalues in a theory with dynamical fermions at non-zero density. Lattice data for gauge group SU(2) with staggered fermions are compared to detailed…
I analyze the emergence of Majorana zero modes (MZM) in a one dimensional ultracold fermionic system confined by an optical lattice inside a high-Q cavity. This forms a quantum optical lattice due to the cavity backaction, with emergent…

A detailed study of a model for strongly-interacting fermions with exclusion rules and lattice $\mathcal N=2$ supersymmetry is presented. A submanifold in the space of parameters of the model where it is Bethe-ansatz solvable is identified.…
We calculate the low-lying eigenmodes of the Neuberger overlap-Dirac operator for $4d$ compact lattice QED in the quenched approximation. In the strong coupling phase we find exact zero-modes, quite similar as in non-Abelian lattice QCD.…
We study the spectra of charmonia, charmed mesons, singly and doubly charmed baryons using Lattice QCD, with 2+1 flavours of fermions. In the case of mesons, we include higher spin states, while for baryons, both positive and negative…

In continuum QCD, nontrivial gauge topologies give rise to zero eigenvalues of the massless Dirac operator. In lattice QCD with Wilson fermions, these zero modes appear as exactly real eigenvalues of the Wilson-Dirac operator and hence as…
